CURRICULUM
The curriculum for the BS Math/BS Applied Math program is built around a
traditional base of foundational and core courses in the major areas of
mathematics and applied mathematics with the inclusion of specialized courses
in mathematics, applied mathematics, relevant disciplines, and emerging areas.
The recommended minimum set of courses as indicated in CMO 19 s. 2007 is
retained in this PSG.
Since the mathematics department of different schools will have their particular
strengths and orientation, there is a provision for elective courses that will allow
for flexibility and accommodate the department’s special interests. HEIs may
offer courses beyond those specified in the recommended courses, according to
their faculty expertise, institutional resources, and thrusts.
7
The following general recommendations are being made for designing the
curricula for the BS Mathematics and BS Applied Mathematics programs:

courses and indicate the minimum topics to be covered in each area. The HEIs
shall formulate the syllabus for all the courses in their respective BS Math/
Applied Math program.
HEIs may follow their own course specification s in the implementation of the program but must
not be less than those specified for major courses.
